Assessment Question week 7:
Question 2: Monopolistic and oligopoly firms
Question 1
(i)
Economic Loss in short run (ATC2)
From below Lan t-shirt firm’s graph we can see the firm is producing T shirts using Average total cost curve (ATC2) .The equilibrium quantity of firm production is a
t 40 quantity of Lan T-shirt production a point where Marginal revenue equals marginal cost The firm will sell these 40 units of output at price 20 where it matches the demand curve. Difference between the price and ATC2 level indicates the firm profit or loss level. So, the profit or loss =20 – 22.5 =2.5 in short run. Hence the firm will face loss of 2.5
Short run Monopolistic competitive firm(ATC1)
The profit maximization condition for monopolistic firm is MR=MC with Average total cost1, from above Lan t-shirt firm’s graph at 40 quantity of Lan T-shirt production Marginal revenue curve equals Marginal cost curve, so the monopolistic firm optimal production of T shirt is 40 units. The firm will sell these 40 units of output at price 20. Economic profit of the firm is difference between the price and ATC1 which is equal to 2.5 (20 – 17.5) in short run.
Long run Monopolistic competitive firm
In long run the firm economic profit has attract many firms in the market, because of this monopolistic firms face decrease in demand for their products in the market. So, the firms demand curve will shift down from DD to DD1 where demand curve equals ATC1 curve, which indicates zero economic profit. This was shown in the below graph.
(ii) Imperfect competition occurs when one of the conditions of perfect market violates. Types of imperfect competition markets are monopoly, duopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic market. Let us consider government owned railway, there is a entry restriction in railway sector, because it involves large amount of firms investment before the firm earns revenue from it, there is also legal restriction that the firm should face while entering in to this sector.
